The Baltimore Ravens have made plenty of quality additions to their wide receiver room during the 2023 offseason. They’ve signed wideouts Odell Beckham Jr. and Nelson Agholor, drafted electric rookie Zay Flowers, and still have other such as Rashod Bateman and Devin Duvernay ready and waiting.
On Friday, the Arizona Cardinals released star wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, with plenty of speculation as to where could end up next. When listing off the best fits for Hopkins, Garrett Podell of CBS Sports mentioned the Ravens as one of his choices, mentioning that adding Hopkins could make Baltimore’s receiving group one of the best in the league in 2023 with what they’ve already added.
“The Ravens addressed their receiver room this offseason by signing Odell Beckham Jr. and drafting Boston College wideout Zay Flowers 22nd overall in Round 1 of the 2023 NFL Draft. However, they have some cap space ($11.8 million in 2023) and are flush with draft capital. If Jackson truly wants to make good on his goal of 6,000 passing yards in 2023, adding Hopkins is a must. There’s even a slight personal connection: tight ends coach George Godsey was the Texans’ offensive coordinator from 2015-16, when Hopkins made his Pro Bowl debut with a 1,500-yard breakout campaign. If Hopkins were to agree to a deal, Baltimore could provide Jackson with one of the better pass-catching arsenals in the entire league in 2023.”
